Chapter 74 - The Magical Turn
Ma Bao's childhood name was Bao Er, and companions who had played with him since childhood were all used to calling him Big Treasure, but that was just what they used to call him when he was young. It had been a long time since the current Ma Bao, a man of even thirty years of age, had heard himself being addressed like this.
When he turned around and looked at the woman, his eyes darted around a few times before finally asking in disbelief, ”Sister Hui? You are Fu Qing's big sister? ”It's really you …” At that time, a breath of cold air came up from Ma Bao's back, he rubbed his eyes and confirmed once again that this woman was actually Fu Hui.
Ma Bao fell to the ground like he had lost a judge, despair emerging in his heart.
The Eight Flag System was a military organization in the very beginning. After they successfully entered the pass, after they settled down in the mountains and pursued the policy of an ironclad crop, the organization started to become secular.
The Baji were betrothed and sworn brothers to each other. One family with one family, had already weaved a huge love net. In the span of a few hundred years, almost all the families had different kinds of connections. The seniority between them was extremely complex, and outsiders wouldn't be able to understand the details of the relationship.
For example, Fu Hui, according to the position of the Fuca's house in the dryad Dynasty, her family was from a later generation, and the original owner of the dryad was Fu Kang An's sister, Fu Heng.
The Fuche's woman gave birth to Ci Xi, which meant that Fu Hui had a relative with the Yehonala family. Yet, Ci Xi had become her cousin. Of course, this was only the tip of the iceberg of the huge web of relationships. The interaction between the Fuche and the other famous surnames of the other eight flags was also very close.
It was because this love net was too big, trapping all the Manchu, so there was nothing that the Beijing was not familiar with. Especially those like Ma Bao, Fu Hui, and Qing San Ye who had grown up in the capital, they knew all the secrets about each other and their families.
Never in his wildest dreams did Ma Bao imagine that the hostage would actually be Sister Hui, who had grown up together with him. This woman who was only two months older than him had always been a child.
More importantly, Ma Bao was very clear about the Fuche's background. Ci Xi's cousin, Love New Desire Luo's cousin, was a great figure in the top three flags while he himself was just a small insect in the Manchu, he was simply not on the same level.
”My own mother!” Why did the dirty mouse tie you up? ”Sister Hui, why did you come to Tanggu …” Ma Bao was about to cry. If the emperor and the empress dowager knew that he had kidnapped their relative right at the root, no matter how many heads they had at home, it wouldn't be enough.
Thinking about that, Ma Bao suddenly took out his blade, and with a flash, cut the rope on Fu Hui's body, ”Sister Hui, leave, when I return to Beijing alive, I will ask for your forgiveness … ”Let's go!” After that, Ma Bao gave a violent push and pushed Fu Hui out of the human circle.
”Ma Bao, you're crazy!” The High Scholar Huang was no longer polite and pointed at Ma Bao's nose and scolded him, ”You bastard, if you want to die, go and die. You absolutely cannot lose this hostage. dirty mouse, do it! ”
At this time, the dirty mouse also fought with everything he had. He jumped up and grabbed onto Fu Hui's hair as she dragged him backwards, ”No one is allowed to come here. ”Hurry up and give us the carriages, no, no, we don't want the carriages anymore. We need these war horses, hurry up and give us …”
When Ma Bao saw this, he thought, I, a great lord, can't control a smelly High Scholar like you and a hoodlum? You really think this lord is faceless. He grabbed High Scholar Huang's braided waist knife and placed it on his neck as he cursed, ”Stinking rat, quickly release her. Do you know who she is? ”If something were to happen to her, none of us would be able to survive …”
”I'm not letting go, you no longer have a weapon, I'm not afraid of you anymore …” I want to live, I don't want to die! ” The two groups of people who had just met instantly split into two.
Right now, no one knew that it was precisely because of this sudden argument that delayed them for some time, causing High Scholar Huang and the others to fall into a situation where they would never be able to get out of it. No one present knew that Xiao Letian had already made the preparations to let these people go back to Beijing. Even if he had to go overseas to avoid trouble, he would not regret it.
After all, Xiao Letian was just a Transcended pretty boy. Even though he had already strived very hard to make himself seem more like a ruthless politician, the kindness in his bones was impossible to erase.
”Hu Niu, Sister Hui, you are my most beloved people. If I can't even protect you two, what kind of men would I be …” Thinking about that, Xiao Letian suddenly had a weird feeling in his heart, ”What's going on? Why did I have to call Sister Hui and Hu Niu the same? ”Calm down, I must remain calm …”
Xiao Letian shook his head and shouted, ”Nobody move, let them go... I, Xiao Letian, swear on my character that if I let you guys go, I won't kill you in the middle of the road, but you guys better remember this, if there's even the slightest mistake between the two women, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Jiu Shuai looked at Xiao Letian in disappointment and shook his head lightly. He was very disappointed with Xiao Letian. In the future, when people take advantage of your weakness, you will suffer.
But when he thought about it later, wouldn't a slightly weak Master of Western Studies be easier to control?
In the end, Ma Bao did not bother with dirty mouse and the others either, because he understood that this group of people had already gone mad, especially dirty mouse and Xiao Pi Sun, who had completely lost all reason. In order to protect Fu Hui, Ma Bao could only lower his head and admit defeat.
The war horses and horse carriage arrived quickly. When Fu Hui and Hu Niu were forced into the carriage, just as they wanted to escape, a group of figures suddenly ran out from an alley.
